Hello,
I have NW Pajero with 92000Kms on it.
Approximately every 4 weeks we tow our caravan and I switch to 4H so that part of the super select gets used.
Today we drove on the beach for about 15 minutes in 4HLC without any issues. Left the beach and drove on dirt roads for about another 15 minutes and then I changed it back to 4H whilst driving about 30Km/h (I forgot to stop and put it in neutral, my bad!).
All 4 green wheel lights and orange centre diff light started flashing so I then stopped and put it into neutral without any change to the light sequence and gave it another 1 minute or so and then turned the car off. When the car is switched back on, the orange centre difflock light flashes (none of the other wheel lights flash/are illuminated.
Couldnt stop it from flashing after turning the engine off and changing from 4H<>4HLC<>4H<>2H etc.
Later I was able to put the selector in 4LLc and start the car and it operated in that mode without issue and light sequence was as expected, I then tried putting it back into 4HLC and I forget it was OK or if the centre diff light started flashing orange again (I now cannot do this anymore, just flashing orange centre diff light, straight from startup).
I did a little research when returning home and pulled out the airbox and inspected the rubber hosing to/from the solenoids and they seem OK. I then pulled the bash plates off and checked the rubber hosing underneath and cannot find any issues. Checked the front diff actuator rod (pulled the rubber boot off) and it looked clean and had nice grease on it.
Now I get the centre diff light flashing orange no matter what mode the super select is in after starting/stopping the car.
Thinking about changing the solenoids or finding out how to test them. I believe the yellow dot one should click when it has power applied to it?
Just after some initial things that I should check if I can.
Hoping to check if the solenoid click when ignition is turned on and go from there
